| Description of the problem | When towing a trailer and you come to a stop, the engine shuts off displaying "auto stop/start shift to p then restart engine". When you restart the engine it immediately dies again. You are left with disabled power steering, disabled power brakes, and have to rev up the engine while keeping one foot on the brakes, and slam it into gear to try to get moving, all while towing a large trailer behind you and typically in an intersection.. This is a very dangerous situation. Ford is aware of the problem, but will not do anything to fix it, even if you bring your truck to their service center reporting the problem. There is an ntsb bulletin describing the problem and required repair, # 18-2249, but ford does not perform the work unless you provide a copy of the bulletin and insist on the work being done. This ntsb bulletin needs to be a recall! This is a very dangerous driving situation which needs to be corrected. |
